	Can Science Save Africa? -- A. Hassan 292 (5522): 1609 -- Science
		During the late 1960s and early 1970s, funding for science and technology in Africa was driven by governmental commitments to quality education and research.
		The development of genetic molecular markers to improve tea harvests in Kenya, ongoing efforts to examine alternative treatments for river blindness in Uganda, sickle-cell research in Ghana, and studies of the use of indigenous plants for the treatment of diabetes in Madagascar are examples of science-based initiatives in Africa that deserve greater public recognition.
		Several African nations (among them Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania) have recently invested in science and technology programs and displayed a commitment to democratic principles that bodes well for the future, regardless of how fragile their current promising situations may be.

		From the standpoint of even ordinary schoolbook physical science, the provable distinction of the human species from all other forms of life, is expressed by comparing the potential relative population-density of the human species, with that of the higher apes.
		This notion of powers, is that employed by Leibniz for defining a science of physical economy; it is the use of the notion of powers employed by Gauss in defining the fundamental theorem of algebra, the same notion Gauss employed in number theory, in defining the significance of residues.
		The comprehension of history is accessed through science's partnership with progress of discovering and applying the principles of Classical artistic composition to the understanding of the passion on which society's cooperation in use of science depends.

		The introduction of the telescope into astronomy in the first decade of the 17th century revolutionised the science.
		In 1609 Thomas Harriot viewed the Moon through a telescope and in 1612 was the first to see sunspots.
		Science lecturing was important at this time and many devices were made to illustrate astronomical phenomena.

		Teaching the controversy in science class gives the impression that there is an ongoing scientific controversy, as in, a controversy that is being hashed out among professional scientists as part of a larger research program.
		But in a paper today in the journal Science, a group of scientists and ethicists is advising researchers to exercise care with such experiments, particularly if they should lead to a large fraction of a chimpanzee's brain's being composed of human neurons.

	HOS: 1. What is Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Neither will science be understood to be abstract theories such as found in astrophysics or elementary particle physics that are practically beyond understanding by anyone outside the few specialists working at the frontiers of these specializations.
		Then can science be defined by looking at the range of activities "scientists do." Many of us would be hard-pressed to say much more about the nature of science than that science is whatever it is scientists do for a living.
		A descriptive definition was said to be that science is what is "accepted by the scientific community" and is "what scientists do." The obvious implication of this description is that, in a free society, knowledge does not require the imprimatur of legislation in order to become science.

		Measurement plays an important role, and when possible the scientist attempts to test his theories by carefully designed and controlled experiments that will yield quantitative rather than qualitative results.
		Theory and experiment work together in science, with experiments leading to new theories that in turn suggest further experiments.
		Science is also a product of society and history; and, very much affected by developments in the productive forces.

	"WHAT IS SCIENCE?"
		Many activities are today characterized as "Science!", while other activities are just as definitely characterized as "Pseudoscience!", maybe without the one making the judgement always having made it clear to himself what he really means with the words he is using.
		The other, termed "science ideal", refers to that science, which within a paradigm is considered to be the best expression/reflection of what science "is" and should be.
		During the "idealistic" period of science one built the world picture on the basis of the doctrine of the elements, just as one, during the following "materialistic" period of science has put much energy into the work of building a consistent world picture, based on the idea of the atom.

	WHAT IS SCIENCE ?
		If you want to understand, if you want to come to a picture of what science is, what knowledge is, it could be a good start to try to become clear about the general content of the concept.
		The historian of science Northrop also distinguishes, but from a somewhat different perspective, between a "functionalistic" (aristotelian) and a "physicalistic" theory of nature as two of three basic theories of nature during the period of greek science (ref by Törnebohm 1977).

	Religion and Science
		The goal of science is to explain the physical world through hypothesis, observation, and experiment (the scientific method).
		However, science is not the only academic discipline (principally philosophy and theology) that is in the business of explaining parts of the world.
		Science could not operate that way, nor would any of us want it to, otherwise, there would be very little explanation for the "why" in the observable world.

	Beginning of Modern Science & Modern Philosophy
		One thing that happened during the Renaissance that was of great importance for the later character of modern philosophy was the birth of modern science.
		Around 1609 it was discovered in the Netherlands that putting two lenses (which had been used since the 13th century as eye glasses) together made distant objects look close.
		This is not because of the positive results of his investigations, which were few, but because of the questions that he raised and problems that he created, problems that have still not been answered to everyone's satisfaction: particularly the Problem of Knowledge and the Mind-Body Problem.

		Galileo (1564-1642) was persuaded early in his career of the truth of Copernicus heliocentric model of the Universe, but hesitated to put forward his ideas.
		After the invention of telescope (1609), Galileo built his own, and used it to make observations that were not possible before that time.
		In 1611 he demonstrated the use of telescope to Church leaders in Rome, and, encouraged by their interest, expressed his support to the ideas of Copernicus.

		The Semester in Environmental Science Program (SES) is offered by the Ecosystems Center, the ecological research arm of the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), an international institution for research and education in biology founded in 1888.
		Both of the core courses cover the fundamentals of ecosystem science in the context of five major environmental issues, describing linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and featuring both field and laboratory work.
		Students select one of three specialized electives offered each semester, providing an opportunity to deepen their understanding of a specific area of ecology, such as aquatic chemistry, microbial methods, or Mathematical modeling.

		It was natural to perceive Earth as the center of the universe, with a transparent, starry sphere rotating around it.
